6 Great Quotes from the Guy Who Taught Us That Science is Actually Pretty Cool

Bill Nye is awesome. I adored him as a kid, and now as an adult I feel like I could both have a beer with him and go into a lecture by him and be completely blown away.

I learned about static electricity from him as a kid, and then promptly went through the house rubbing my socks on the carpet and shocking myself on all the random metal objects in the house.

Here are some quotes by the guy who made our childhoods cooler and a little bit more terrifying for our parents. (“Look Mom, if I walk across the living room without lifting up my feet, I can create a bolt of electricity on your arm!”)

“History is but the record of the public and official acts of human beings. It is our object, therefore, to humanize our history and deal with people past and present; people who ate and possibly drank; people who were born, flourished and died; not grave tragedians, posing perpetually for their photographs.”
